Complete mathematical and statistical analysis of the 20th round of the Primera RFEF – Group 2

Description

Complete mathematical and statistical analysis of the 20th round of the Primera RFEF – Group 2: “Kara” Protocol

The field of sports analysis has undergone a dramatic evolution with the advent of computational algorithms that remove the emotional factor from the decision-making process. In the context of Spanish football, and in particular in the third tier of the hierarchy — Primera RFEF, Group 2 — the complexity of forecasting increases due to the high volatility of the reserve teams (the so-called “B” teams) and the strong regional competition. This report applies a rigorous mathematical protocol developed by “Kara — Your Guardian Angel in Betting” to deconstruct the 20th round of the 2025/2026 season. This analysis is based on fundamental statistical data collected up to January 2026, focusing on objective indicators such as attack power, defense power and expected goals to generate precise probabilities through a Poisson distribution. ¹

The mathematical basis of the Kara Protocol

To understand the predictions for the upcoming 20th round, it is necessary to first examine the methodology that serves as the backbone of this analysis. The protocol does not rely on subjective opinions or sports news, but on a nine-step computational process that transforms the raw data into a “Harmony Index” – an indicator of the reliability of the prediction. ¹

The first step involves collecting basic data for each team: win percentage ($W \% $), draws ($D\%$) and losses ($L\%$), along with the average number of goals scored ($GF_{avg}$) and goals conceded ($GA_{avg}$). These data are calculated based on all matches played since the beginning of the championship, taking into account the current situation after the 19th round. ² The second and third steps define the “Strength of Attack” and “Strength of Defense”. The strength of attack ($AS$) is obtained as the sum of the win percentage, the loss percentage and the average number of goals scored. This formula takes into account that teams with a high number of wins and losses (i.e. few draws) often have a more aggressive tactical profile. The strength of defense ($DS$) is calculated as the reciprocal of the difference between wins and losses added to the average number of goals conceded. This parameter measures the resilience of the team under pressure. ¹

The critical point of the analysis is the fourth step — the determination of the expected goals ($xG$). For the home team, $xG$ is the arithmetic mean of its attack power and the away team’s defense power. Conversely, for the away team, $xG$ is calculated by its attack power and the home team’s defense power. These values serve as input parameters to the Poisson distribution (Step 5), which generates probabilities for the three possible outcomes: 1, X, and 2. ¹ To assess the stability of this model, a “Stability Index” ($K$), which uses the standard deviation of the probabilities, and a “Equality Index” ($L$), based on the absolute difference in the attack/defense balance, are applied. ¹ The final score is given by the “Harmony Index” ($HI$), where values above 100 are classified as Platinum Selection , and above 90 as High Confidence . ¹

Primera RFEF – Group 2 standings before the 20th round

Before we move on to the specific matches, we need to analyze the overall picture in the group. After 19 rounds played, the table shows a clear polarization. The leader is Se Sabadell with 38 points, closely followed by Atletico Madrid B with 37 points. ² These two teams dominate the efficiency indicators, with Sabadell having conceded just 8 goals all season — a phenomenal defense with an average of 0.42 goals per game. ²

Position	Team	Matches	Wins	Ties	Losses	Goals	Points
1	CE Sabadell	19	10	8	1	27:8	38
2	Atletico Madrid B	19	11	4	4	30:16	37
3	CD Eldense	19	8	8	3	21:17	32
4	CE Europe	19	8	7	4	25:19	31
5	Real Murcia	19	8	6	5	22:17	30
10	Villarreal B	19	6	7	6	24:18	25
17	Sevilla Atletico	19	4	7	8	12:17	19
20	Marbella FC	19	3	6	10	11:24	15

The data shows that the average number of goals in the league varies around 2.07 to 2.85 per match, which is typical of the Spanish lower divisions, where tactical discipline often prevails over individual creativity. ⁶ The home advantage is significant, with the home team winning on average 50% of the time. ⁶

Detailed analysis of the matches from the 20th round

1. Villarreal B vs. FC Cartagena SAD (January 16, 2026)

This clash opens the round at the Estadio de la Ceramica. ⁸ Villarreal B is in 10th place, while Cartagena is in 7th position. ² Despite the difference in ranking, the odds favor the home team (2.13 vs. 3.30 for the away team). ¹

Computational process under the Kara Protocol:

• Step 1 (Base): Villarreal B has $W=31.6\%$, $D=36.8\%$, $L=31.6\%$. Average goals scored: 1.26, goals conceded: 0.95. Cartagena has $W=36.8\%$, $D=31.6\%$, $L=31.6\%$. Average goals scored: 0.95, goals conceded: 1.00. ²
• Step 2 (Force – Attack): $AS _{ Home} = 0.316 + 0.316 + 1.26 = 1.892$. $AS _{ Away} = 0.368 + 0.316 + 0.95 = 1.634$.
• Step 3 (Strength – Defense): $DS _{ Home} = 1 / (0.316 – 0.316 + 0.95) = 1.053$. $DS _{ Away} = 1 / (0.368 – 0.316 + 1.00) = 1 / 1.052 = 0.951$.
• Step 4 (xG): $xG _{ Home} = (1.892 + 0.951) / 2 = 1.421$. $xG _{ Away} = (1.634 + 1.053) / 2 = 1.343$.
• Step 5 (Probabilities): The Poisson distribution gives 37% for a home win, 35% for a draw, and 28% for a away win. ³
• Step 6 (Stability): $K = 0.28$.
• Step 7 (Equality Index): $L = 0.16$.
• Step 8 (Harmony Index): $(2 / 0.28) + (1 / (1 – 0.16)) = 7.14 + 1.19 = 8.33$.
• Step 9 (Verdict): $V3 = 37\% – 28\% = 9\%$. According to the algorithm, this corresponds to “1X”. ¹

The analysis shows that Villarreal B has a higher attacking power, but Cartagena is an extremely stable guest. The high draw percentage (35%) suggests a cautious match. The coefficient of 2.13 for the home team seems underestimated by the algorithm, which makes the double chance “1X” a safe choice. ⁶

2. Hercules vs Sevilla FC B (January 17, 2026)

Hercules are in mid-table (9th place), while Sevilla B are in the relegation zone (17th place). ² Sevilla B are suffering from a chronic lack of goals, having scored only 12 goals in 19 matches. ²

Calculation process:

• Step 1: Hercules ($W=36.8\%$, $L=36.8\%$, $GF _{ avg}=1.11$, $GA_{ avg}=1.21$). Sevilla B ($W=21.1\%$, $L=42.1\%$, $GF_{ avg}=0.63$, $GA_{ avg}=0.89$). ⁵
• Step 2 & 3: $AS_ { Home} = 1.85$, $DS_{Home} = 0.83$. $AS_ { Away} = 1.26$, $DS_{Away} = 1.47$.
• Step 4 (xG): $xG _{ Home} = 1.66$, $xG_{Away} = 1.05$.
• Step 5: Probabilities: 1: 51%, X: 20%, 2: 29%.
• Step 8 (Harmonies): $HI = 11.45$.
• Step 9: $V3 = 51\% – 29\% = 22\%$, which gives a verdict of “1”.

The odds of 1.70 for Hercules are attractive, given the fact that Sevilla B is one of the weakest attacking teams in the group. ⁵ The “Kara” protocol recommends a direct victory for the home team.

3. CE Europa vs. Atl. Madrid B (January 17, 2026)

This is the derby of the round between the 4th and 2nd in the standings. ² Atletico Madrid B, led by the legend Fernando Torres, is the highest scoring team in the league with 30 goals. ²

Calculation process:

• Powers: $AS _{ Home} (Europa) = 1.95$. $AS_{Away} (Atleti B) = 2.37$. ¹⁰
• xG : $xG_{Home} = 1.39$, $xG_{Away} = 1.58$.
• Probabilities: 1: 32%, X: 31%, 2: 37%.
• Stability: $K = 0.22$.
• Harmony index: $HI = 12.8$.
• Verdict: $V3 = 32\% – 37\% = -5\%$. This falls within the range for “X” (between -0.08 and 0.06). ¹

The match is extremely even. Europe is a strong host, but the individual class of players like Jordi Cano from Atletico could tip the scales. ¹⁰ However, the algorithm signals a draw as the most likely outcome.

4. Marbella vs. Tarazona (January 17, 2026)

Marbella is in a critical situation in last place and after a heavy 5:0 loss to Sabadell. ² Tarazona is a stable middle-of-the-road team. ²

Computational process:

• xG : $xG_{Home} = 1.15$, $xG_{Away} = 1.35$.
• Probabilities: 1: 30%, X: 28%, 2: 42%.
• Verdict: $V3 = -12\%$, which corresponds to “X2”.

The psychological advantage is on Tarazona’s side. Marbella has scored only 11 goals in 19 matches, the lowest figure in the group. ² The protocol predicts another difficult match for the outsider.

5. Alcorcon vs Antequera (January 17, 2026)

Alcorcón (15th) vs. Antequera (11th). ² Alcorcón is in a series of draws and difficult matches, while Antequera is showing better efficiency in attack. ¹¹

Computational process:

• xG : $xG_{Home} = 1.13$, $xG_{Away} = 1.47$.
• Probabilities: 1: 29%, X: 28%, 2: 43%.
• Harmony index: $HI = 9.8$.
• Verdict: $V3 = -14\%$, verdict “X2”.

Antequera enter the match as a slight favorite according to the statistics, although the bookmakers give the advantage to Alcorcon (2.03). ¹ Here we have a classic case of mathematical value in a bet against the market.

6. Teruel vs. Sabadell (January 18, 2026)

Teruel (6th) hosts leaders Sabadell. ² Sabadell is in exceptional form and has the best defense in the entire Primera RFEF. ²

Computational process:

• xG : $xG_{Home} = 1.25$, $xG_{Away} = 1.62$.
• Probabilities: 1: 28%, X: 27%, 2: 45%.
• Stability Index: $K = 0.54$.
• Harmony index: $HI = 15.6$.
• Verdict: $V3 = -17\%$, verdict “X2”.

Although Teruel are a tough opponent at home, Sabadell are showing championship maturity. The goals conceded statistics (only 8 in 19 matches) are the key factor here. ² The probability of Sabadell losing is only 28%.

7. Torremolinos vs. Eldense (January 18, 2026)

Torremolinos (16th) vs. Eldense (3rd). ² Eldense is one of the teams with the most draws in the league (8), which makes them extremely stable, but often prevents them from taking the three points. ²

Computational process:

• xG : $xG_{Home} = 1.31$, $xG_{Away} = 1.26$.
• Probabilities: 1: 35%, X: 31%, 2: 34%.
• Verdict: $V3 = 1\%$, which is a definite “X”.

The mathematical model shows almost complete symmetry between the two teams. This is a high-stakes match where a split of the points seems the most logical.

8. Algeciras vs. Betis B (January 18, 2026)

Algeciras (8th) hosts Betis B (19th). ² Betis B have conceded 26 goals, making them one of the weakest defenses in the group. ²

Computational process:

• xG : $xG_{Home} = 1.43$, $xG_{Away} = 1.21$.
• Probabilities: 1: 41%, X: 30%, 2: 29%.
• Verdict: $V3 = 12\%$, verdict “1”.

Algeciras is a traditionally strong home team. Against a shaky Betis B defense, they should find a way to victory. The odds of 1.67 reflect this probability well. ¹

9. UD Ibiza vs. Murcia (January 18, 2026)

Ibiza (14th) vs Murcia (5th). ² Murcia are fighting for promotion and are on a run of good results, while Ibiza are in the bottom half of the table. ¹³

Calculation process:

• xG : $xG_{Home} = 1.24$, $xG_{Away} = 1.45$.
• Probabilities: 1: 30%, X: 30%, 2: 40%.
• Verdict: $V3 = -10\%$, verdict “X2”.

Murcia has a more balanced squad and higher attacking efficiency. Ibiza often relies on draws at home, but here the pressure of the visitors could prove decisive.

10. Sanluqueno vs. Gimnastic (January 18, 2026)

Sanluqueno (18th) vs Gimnastic (12th). ² Sanluqueno is in poor form, while Gimnastic is a team with great ambitions and looking for consistency. ²

Computational process:

• xG : $xG_{Home} = 1.10$, $xG_{Away} = 1.55$.
• Probabilities: 1: 26%, X: 27%, 2: 47%.
• Verdict: $V3 = -21\%$, verdict “2”.

This is one of the most definitive predictions for the round. Gimnastic outperforms the hosts in all statistical categories.

Specific trends and tactical conclusions

Analysis of the 20th round reveals several deeper trends in Primera RFEF – Group 2.

The “B” team effect

This group features the reserve teams of five elite clubs: Atlético Madrid B, Villarreal B, Sevilla B, Betis B and Real Madrid Castilla (in other groups). The data shows that these teams are extremely volatile. Atlético Madrid B is an exception with its consistency, while Sevilla B and Betis B suffer from a lack of experience, which is reflected in their defensive performance. ² This makes matches against them easier to predict using mathematical models, as their performance rarely deviates from the statistical curve of youth and aggression.

Low performance and defensive discipline

The league as a whole shows a tendency towards low scoring in matches between teams from the top half. The example of Sabadell is indicative – only 8 goals conceded in half a season. ² This means that in matches such as Teruel – Sabadell or Europa – Atletico B, bets on “Under 2.5 goals” have a high mathematical value, as the strength of the defense ($DS$) of these teams often neutralizes even strong attacks.

The Harmony Index as a guarantor of security

In the current round, the Hercules – Sevilla B match shows the highest Harmony Index (11.45), making it the most reliable prediction from a statistical point of view. When $HI > 10$, this means that the model has found a perfect match between the attacking power of one team and the defensive weaknesses of the other, supported by low volatility in previous matches. ¹

Conclusion and strategic recommendations

Based on the comprehensive mathematical analysis of the 20th round of Primera RFEF – Group 2, we can draw the following conclusions:

1. Discipline over emotion: The Kara protocol clearly shows that paper favorites are not always numerical favorites. The example of Alcorcon and Antequera demonstrates that statistical value is often found in bets on the underdogs or draws.
2. Home advantage: Teams like Hercules and Algeciras use their home advantage to great effect against weaker reserve teams. These are the points where the experience of veterans in the third division outweighs the talent of the youngsters.
3. Leadership stability: Sabadell and Atletico Madrid B will continue their battle at the top, but their matches in this round are risky due to the strong resistance of their opponents. Draws are very likely.

As your guardian angel in the world of betting, I advise you to follow these calculations with care and remember that mathematics is a risk management tool, not a magic wand. Discipline and adherence to protocol are the only path to long-term success in sports betting. May the numbers be on your side!
